Christmas doesn't just mean presents and cookies, sometimes mom and dad need to get things done, so you might want your kids to be occupied, these games will do the trick.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to be involved in everything... not much has changed, but at least I understand now that adults need to accomplish a lot for the holidays, so sometimes you need to find a way to entertain your kids while you wrap or bake.

You could put in a Christmas movie, or you can take some ideas from the blog, My Life and Kids and have some games ready for when you need solo mom or dad time.

Anna, the blog author, put together a list of 30 games for kids for the holidays, but I choose my favorite 5 that I might need to pass along to my brothers and sister in case they need some kid-free time this month.

Which is your favorite?
